Nice Tail bag -- have two myself ---- from Milton originally and fondly remember the first spring ride.   Back in the day I had a kick start Honda 400 --- waking that b_atch after and winter's hibernation was never fun.

Cool Ride

Hi Dan.
Hope you had a nice ride. It was a  beautiful day a bit windy here in Courtice.
Went to take mine out also. No clutch ! put it in gear with the clutch pulled in and the bike keeps moving forward. I have a brand new Master and slave. still in the box, fibers and steels. :dance: Its time to get the wrenches out and get dirty. :morning1:
Just wanted to ask you, Is there a rear tire in your future?  :good: Holly slick

The glass is not half full, it was engineered with a 2X safety factor.

Hi Bob,

Good to hear from you again and looking forward to seeing you this summer...

Yes there is some new skins in the near future, I have gathered most of the parts for a front & rear end swap and I'm holding out for that to happen before I buy new tires...

I did notice a bit of wheel spin and slide on the ride... just hope I don't see any rain before the swap  :smile:

Both bikes look amazing, always good to get that first ride of the year.

Mark....look closely.... There is the ambulance, but the other is a '91 or later.

 :hi: Way to go Dan :good2:

Lots of bikes out around here yesterday, as the weather was good...same again today. However, I took the insurance off of the'85 and transferred it over to the '92, last week...which I'm working on, all of this weekend :empathy2:

Hope to get a ride with you, Paul and Co soon... :drinks:

John.
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely, in an attractive & well preserved body...but rather to slide in sideways, body completely worn out and and with your last dying breath screaming, "HOOOYA LIFE, lets try that again"!!!

 Usually any FJ coming out of the Knee has a tank bag almost as high as the windscreen.
